• Visual Studio Team System Whidbey FxCop 1.32 ignores certain methods ?

  Does the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 have built in intelligence for ignoring certain methods I ask because I have various rules which check ASP.NET generated assemblies. They run fine using the .NET Framework 1.1 FxCop 1.32 but when I run them on ASP.NET 2 assemblies using the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 none of the private generated methods are visited. This makes me wonder if they are being deliberately excluded. Guy We can change FxCop so that it always calls your rule for these methods. The only implication for your analysis results would be that no source file and line information would ever appear, since the asp.net comp ...Show All

• .NET Development How can assign ExecuteOracleScalar() to int

  how can i do this without error: int count = cmd .ExecuteOracleScalar() ; the message error is: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.OracleClient.OracleNumber' to type 'System.IConvertible'. thank you for your attention ExecuteOracleScalar returns an Oracle-specific data type. In this case, from the error you can see that it is returning an OracleNumber. There is no valid implicit cast from OracleNumber directly to int. Instead, you can explicitly cast like this: int count = ( int )( OracleNumber )cmd.ExecuteOracleScalar(); You can also use ExecuteScalar to return a regul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Packaging a DirectX Game

  Hi, I've recently started programming using DirectX and C#. I created a game and it runs fine on my development machine (.Net 1.1,  DX SDK). But when I compile the game for a release, and move it onto a machine that only has the DirectX runtimes, it fails to find any of the neccessary libraries and will not start. I've tried telling to to "include resources" when it compiles, in which case it copies a bunch of .dll's to the release directory, but that still wont work on regular machines. It works fine on any machine that has the SDK installed. The regular machines are all running Dx9.0c and .Net 1.1. Any idea how to package a release ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office better to store VSTO docs on hard drive or in sqlServer?

  hiya, I am going to do an app that require a  word docs that will contain numeric fields. ie, there will be several lines of descriptive text, then a gap where a user can enter a numeric amount. Later, the user may have to re-open the document to make some more changes. I think I have 2 options: 1) the user saves the word docs onto a section of the hard drive 2) the user saves the numeric values into a sqlServer database, and the document has a primary key that uniquely identifies thatdocument. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the above approaches I'm still new to VSTO, so perhaps there is an even better way many thanks, y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Create the "Solution Items" pseudo-folder via automation

  This issue is related to this thread but I started a different thread because it's another aspect of the problem... I want to put files in the "Solution Items" pseudo-folder of a new, template-created project. This is not possible via the .vstemplate XML file, as pointed out by Ole Preisler. I'm now trying to achieve this via a GAT Action that is run after the solution template is completely unfolded. I have in hand the source path of the items and the DTE that points on the solution to which I want to add the items. The problem is to create the "Solution Items" pseudo-folder in the solution, because it is not initially present. This Use ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot schedule item with duplicate key for workflowInstanceId

  Hi, I think I'm missing something basic... Using Beta 2.2 and state machine workflow created with Beta 2, running under ASP.NET and using the ManualWorkflowSchedulerService as well as SQL Persistance and SQL Tracking. I can create / start the workflow and it sits in an initial state waiting for events. Whenever I raise an event (via a local service) to move it to another state the workflow terminates with " Cannot schedule item with duplicate key for workflowInstanceId" error message. RunWorkflow() is called on the workflow instance after the event is raised. What am I missing Thanks! Shawn ps the workflow runs fine under Beta 2 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Date Format in DataGridView

  Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me if I'm being really stupid here or maybe missing something really simple I have a datagridview on a windows form that is populated by various data tables from an SQL Server 2000 database. When a Date field is loaded in to the dataset the values are shown in the format MM.DD.YYYY which I would call American format. In VS2002/3 the dates were always displayed in the system default, which in my case (in Scotland) would be DD.MM.YYYY. I can't seem to find anyway to change the way the DataGridView displays dates. Is there a way to do this Or is this specific to the Beta Versions Cheers C-Ya Aly ...Show All

• .NET Development Binary Serialization of DataSets - bug with DateTime-Columns?

  I just tried to serialize a datatable which contains two DateTime-Columns (I use .Net 2.0).
